Description: ---

‘Slytherin ?’
One of the boys sharing the compartment, who had shown no interest at all in Lily or Snape until that point, looked round at the word, and Harry, whose attention had been focused entirely on the two beside the window, saw his father : slight, black-haired like Snape, but with this indefinable air of having been well cared for, even adored, that Snape so conspicuously lacked.
‘Who wants to be in Slytherin ? I think I’d leave, wouldn’t you ?’ James asked the boy lounging on the seats opposite him, and with a jolt, Harry realised that it was Sirius. Sirius did not smile.
‘My whole family have been in Slytherin”, he said.
‘Blimey’, said James, ‘and I thought you seemed all right’.
Sirius grinned.
‘Maybe I’ll break the tradition. Where are you heading, if you’ve got the choice ?’

James lifted an invisible sword.
‘ “Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart” Like my dad’.
Snape made a small, disparaging noise. James turned on him.
‘Got a problem with that?’
‘No’, said Snape, though his slight sneer said otherwise. ‘If you’d rather be brawny than brainy -‘
‘Where’re you hoping to go, seeing as you’re neither?’ interjected Sirius.
James roared with laughter. Lily sat up, rather flushed, and looked from James to Sirius in dislike.
‘Come on, Severus, let’s find another compartment’
‘Oooooo…’
James and Sirius imitated her lofty voice; James tried to trip Snape as he passed.
‘See ya, Snivellus!’

I know I’m not the first on DA for this scene, but…

This is because of my little-5-years-old-son (he’s here with his sister: [link] ). He was watching at my gallery and, after a while, he claimed his favourite one in it is Ron Weasley (this one: [link] ) . And he added: ‘ But Mum, I do really love Professor Snape, yes, I do, though he’s really bad, but you know… HE has NO sword. ‘

Ok, Darling. That's settled then.
